here's a liberal conundrum - would you be willing to support child marriage within the native american community?

i can not see how carter speaking w/ hamas can have a worse result than no one speaking w/ hamas - i can see how it will have no effect however

thanks - that really brightened my mood on this grey-day!

i pretty much fine w/ nuking the entire middle east and renaming it texas we can talk w/ them before we do it

the best line from the work has got to be: "The majority of mounts and matings occur in tense situations."

Paleoanthropology in the 1990's Essays by James Q. Jacobs A Comparison of Some Similar Chimpanzee and Human Behaviors Bonobo Peace Keeping Description: Aggressive behavior is typical of most primates. Gorillas, humans and chimpanzees kill members of their own species. The need for social and physical contact is also characteristic of most primates. Species that live in groups need to reconcile aggression. Social groups require some form of conflict resolution. Sexual behavior is one such mechanism to overwhelm aggression. Bonobo sex life is divorced from reproduction and also serves the functions of pleasure and conflict resolution. Females are in a sexually attractive state most of the time, and almost continuously sexually active. Sexual activity is very frequent. Males, females and juveniles all engage in erotic activity. Age and gender are not sexual boundaries among the Bonobo. A typical sexual pattern is genital rubbing between adult females. Erotic contacts in Bonobos includes oral sex, genital massage and intense tongue-kissing. Whereas in most other species sexual behavior is a fairly distinct category, in the Bonobo it is part and parcel of social relations. Sex seems to cement Bonobo bonds. Females use sex to form alliances against males. Consequently males do not dominate females or coerce them sexually. Bonobo culture is female-centered, egalitarian and substitutes sex for aggression. Context: Bonobos live in groups of 50 to 120 animals. Bonobo society appears to be female-dominated. Male status is linked to that of his mother. Older females occupy the highest rank. The strongest social bonds are between females. Raising offspring is an exclusively female activity. In Bonobo society sexual excitement and aggression rates are higher at feeding times. Dominant males may delay sharing food with females who are not sexually disposed. Cofeeding takes place between intimates. Among Bonobos, embracing, friendly touching and sexual contact rates jump after an aggressive incident. According to zoologist Frans de Waal, "The majority of mounts and matings occur in tense situations." "©onflict resolution is the more fundamental and pervasive function of Bonobo sex." Sex in Bonobo society is definitively a mechanism for keeping the peace. Bonobo-Human Comparisons: Human nuclear families are presumably incongruous with the sex habits found in Bonobo culture. Many of the roots of human behavior can be traced to our primate heritage, including survival through cooperation and mutual assistance. While the same mechanisms and purposes may underlie Bonobo and human social behavior, distinct solutions have evolved in these two groups. In particular, humans and Bonobos have developed different mechanisms for peacekeeping. Cultural transmission and highly developed symbolic language are particularly unique to humans. Human conflicts and aggression are typically reconciled and avoided through language. The use of sex to reconcile or avoid conflict is present in human culture, though it is nowhere near as pervasive a factor as among the Bonobos. Conflicts are less likely to recur after body contact between aggressors. This similarity to Bonobo use of sex can be seen in the custom of adversaries shaking hands after conflict, or close friends kissing and making up after a fight. Intimate human couples engage in sexual activity after conflicts. Sexual receptivity maintains pair bonding in humans much as it does group cohesion in Bonobos. Unlike Bonobos, sexual control is evidenced in humans. Marriage typically serves as a sexual control mechanism. Human males participate in child rearing and, due to monogamous marriages, have some assurance of paternity. In most cultures men honor proprietary rights of husbands over their wife or wives. Marriage typically involves exclusion and control over a female's sexual life. Humans also demonstrate sexual coercion and jealousy between intimates. Most human cultures are male-dominated.

talking, even if only infrequently, leaves open the option of some day making some progress, even if it takes a century

funny - the researchers studying chimps found that all the gay sex they observed was EXACTLY for, if you'll pardon the unavoidable pun, lubricating the social network of the troop. male chimps suck off the troop's leader to indicate their submission and prevent conflict. all the females suck of the same alpha male (polygamous set-up?) for similiar reasons.

it does seem strange - for a man so opposed to bolts, you'd think he'd dig on folks sticking to scrambling?

how much, and how do i get them to fit in my mirage?

I don't believe so, but I'm sure people of poor environmental character could find a way to rig it just so. aww, come on dawg, that was a weak-sauce reply - you need to take some pep pills or something! how about a good witty reply like: "whatdya need loops for? you can just shove the drill up yer ass?"!

she must eat a lot cherries

telling fart jokes together can bring disparate assholes together - why, even today, i was ready to have a big hug w/ kk over the dolphin-sex thing!

no suprise it's w/a scorpion though, right?

funny - i remember reading chimps have similiar behavior, but then i already knew those buggers were evil...

some guns n' roses might be in order: DEAD HORSE Sick of this life Not that you'd care I'm not the only one with whom these feelings I share Nobody understands, quite why we're here We're searchin' for answers That never appear But maybe if I looked real hard I'd I'd see your tryin' too To understand this life, That we're all goin' through (Then when she said she was gonna like wreck my car...I didn't know what to do) Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more It may sound funny but you'd think by now I'd be smilin' I guess some things never change Never change I met an old cowboy I saw the look in his eyes Somethin' tells me he's been here before 'Cause experience makes you wise I was only a small child When the thought first came to me That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son That brought back the devil in me Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more It may sound funny but you'd think by now I'd be smilin' I guess some things never change Never change I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul Still wet behind the ears I been around this track a couple o' times But now the dust is startin' to clear Oh yeah!!! Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more It may sound funny but you'd think by now I'd be smilin' Ooh yeah, I'd be smilin' No way I'd be smilin' Ooh smilin' Sick of this life Not that you'd care I'm not the only one With whom these feelings I share

i'm thinking gardening

okay, but in a world of invitro-fertilization lesbians can still have kids, no? possible, but not natural bs (again). everything we stupid humans do is "natural". exactly. but then, by this definition, one man ramming an 18 inch black latex cock up another man's hersey-hiway would also be natural - and that makes the baby jesus cry....

figured that would send a few heads spinning...

come now, if one must eat dicks, they oughta be fresh! something about this image makes me think they'll be all dry and dusty n' flavorless besides, being a man, if he eats dicks, then he won't be able to get married...

and if you define kkk as an idiot, then his opinion has very little merit. whether he's an idiot is irrelevant, the "if-then" statement he made is self-evidently correct though he did not state in his post wether he agreed w/ that definition, but that's also irrelevant as he intelligently asserts that The State really has no business in that arena now if only they'll leave my magical herbs alone goddamit!

okay, but in a world of invitro-fertilization lesbians can still have kids, no?

hey, there's something you, me n' bill maher can agree on!

probitions against polygamy are thoroughly retarded, provided they are formed between consenting adults - interesting that conservatives will "look the other way" on this "attack on marriage" though but still squeal like pigs if fags marry, eh?

hmm, i wouldn't hold out much hope for broughtons...
